Late to the party, but
1951 Fangio Alfa Romeo.
1952 Ascari Ferrari.
Did I not understand the question?
 I must be a fool, wandering into the Formula 1 Forum  |
Richard should have said:
Alberto Ascari
o 1952-1953 Giuseppe Farina
but 'Won the WDC by beating a prior WDC with both in the same car/team' was still the correct answer because I didn't ask for every driver they beat to be named, just the rationale behind the list.
But it was that in 1951, Juan Manuel Fangio won the title when his teammate was a former world champion in Giuseppe Farina.
In 1952 and 1953, Alberto Ascari won the title when his teammate was a former world champion in Giuseppe Farina.
In 1967, Denny Hulme won the title when his teammate was a former world champion in Jack Brabham.
etc.
And anyone is welcome to take the next question although both wolfhound and S Griffin sort of got the last one right.
